Thought i'd update this thread incase anyone ever experiences similar problems and does a search. You will see my last post above was nearly a month ago. Since then the water leak appears to have got worse. I booked it into the local Ford garage (Peoples in Falkirk) who said: a) This will probably be classed as 'trim' so won't be covered under the warranty (1yr for trim warranty apparently) so you'll need to pay. b) We'll probably need the car for a week so we can strip parts off it to trace the leak. I was a bit unhappy about both of the above, but booked it in anyway for a fortnight's time. I'm getting a courtesy car so at least that's something. In the meantime i've stripped a load of trim off the inside of the car. Both door cards were removed and I took the car (and the Mrs) to the local jetwash this morning and she sat inside will i soaked the offside of the car. Nothing can in through either the door rubbers or the door membranes, so it's not the doors thats the problem. I also remembered that I got a new windscreen fitted by Autoglass back in late August 2009. I called Autoglass this morning and they are going to contact me on Monday to go into their locla depot (in Edinburgh) and get a water test done. I don't quite now what this entails, but we'll see. Apparently in 9 out of 10 cases where a customer reports a leak that wasn't there prior to a screen replacement it's the installation of the screen thats at fault. Meanwhile I have the offside carpet up and the drivers seat out - I must have taken about 3 pints of water out the car this morning with a waffle-weave towel. Got the Mrs hairdryer in there just now drying to dry out the felt underneath the carpet, which is probably going to take all weekend. Bloody cars, nothing but trouble. It's the front AND back carpets on the drivers side that are wet. Edited because it clumps all paragraphs into one big paragraph.
